In the novel tomb robbery notes, it has been said that people light candles, ghosts blow lamps, and candles are not advisable, from this professional term we know that tomb robbers in the early years were also quite professional, in fact, this profession, which is called making dead people rich, has existed since ancient times.
Due to the social unrest at that time, frequent wars, many civilians were displaced, in order to seek a livelihood, they could only put the target on the underground mausoleum, by stealing the burial items in the tomb for a living, over time more and more professional, they were able to find the tomb and the entrance through some special methods, and became a very professional tomb robber, also known as the gold lieutenant.
There was a rare legal person coffin found in a stolen tomb, on which two men and one woman behaved freely, how do experts explain it? Very imaginative.
The tomb was stolen
Tomb robbers will not be as careful as professional archaeologists when opening the tomb, their original intention is only to seek wealth, not research value, so when entering the tomb, they often use explosives and other violent means to blow up the robbery hole and enter the tomb. After plundering the funerary goods, they also left directly, leaving the tomb exposed to the air.
This practice is very harmful to tombs, so the mainland has long banned tomb robbery, but for the sake of its huge wealth, there are always some people who like to take risks and still illegally rob tombs under the condition of explicit prohibition.
In August 2002, an ancient tomb in Guolimu Township, Delingha City, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province, qinghai province, was stolen, and immediately reported to the higher-level cultural relics protection organization after the volunteer protection staff of the local villages and towns found it, and the superiors attached great importance to this and quickly sent a research team to the local area to investigate.
This stolen tomb is located in the lower Tatu grassland, there are many ancient tombs underground, but the only ones that have been stolen are here, because the theft cave is very large, so the ancient tomb has been exposed to the air for a long time after the theft, in addition to the burial items in it being looted, it has also caused great damage to the entire tomb.
Therefore, archaeologists seized the time to carry out rescue excavations of this ancient tomb, and finally found that the tomb robbers only took away some funerary items that were not very heavy, and the things that could not be taken away were still left in the tomb, and even the coffins were completely preserved, and there were still some color drawings on them. These motifs generally record the life and deeds of the tomb owner, which can be said to be very valuable.
Pattern on the left and right sides
After expert research, the stolen tomb should be a male and female burial tomb in the Tubo period, because the pattern on the coffin board is painted, so the identity of the tomb owner is also very unusual, from the above coffin painting can be known that this tomb is through the segmented composition of the way to show the deeds of the tomb owner, and the left and right sides of the coffin plate are clearly composed.
The coffin painting on the right is speculated to be a funeral diagram for Tubo, because the coffin painting completely shows the process of the funeral, first of all, the weeping and mourning scene, many women and children cover their faces and weep, followed by the sacrifice scene, the ceremonial law, and the later picture shows the greeting scene when the guests come to mourn, and the sacrificial items brought by the guests and come forward to offer their plans.
After that, the main family received the guests who came to mourn, and judging from the complete scale and grand scene, the right side of the coffin should interpret the whole process of the funeral of a Tibetan nobleman.
The left coffin is the opposite, mainly reflecting the worldly joyful scenes, for the left side of the coffin painting, scholars have different opinions, the first is that this should be a gathering between the nobles, sitting in the middle of a man and a woman should be the host of this party, in the cheerful reception of guests.
The guests of this party also have different shapes, around this couple, there are people who get up to drink, some talk about it with glasses, some people who turn around and vomit, and there are those who play for this party with musical instruments, which is a lively aristocratic party.
The second view is not so, they think that if it is a party, then the host of the party should step down from his seat and toast around to maintain the atmosphere of the party, because the guests may not know each other, so the painting should be a wedding, and the two people in the middle should be a newlywed.
At this moment, it should be the scene where the ceremony is held and the relatives and friends around them raise a glass to congratulate it, and it will be so active and lively at will, of course, these two views have a certain truth, but they are only subjective speculations.
Amazing find
Then a picture was found above the coffin, which was surprising, showing three people, two men and one woman, who gave a rather imaginative interpretation because of their unrestrained behavior.
First of all, from the scene in the painting, it should be in the wild, in the picture of a man and a woman are hugging each other, the scene is very fragrant, and there is another man sitting on his knees next to him, his hand caressing five inches below the navel. This kind of diagram can be said to be quite unrestrained, but as an expert, considering its historical value and cannot be ignored, I have done research hard.
After careful study, the following imaginative conjectures are given, the first interpretation is that a man and a woman in the picture are walking in the wild, but the two are most likely not married, so it is a typical stealing of incense and jade, and there is an old man next to him who happens to pass by and comes to watch after hearing the movement. The more I looked at it, the more intoxicated and eager I became, so I started to move my hands.
The second explanation is that these three people are husband and wife, because of the early social relationship in Tibet, they are matriarchal society, so they are polygamous.
However, this statement is untenable, because the scene behind it is in the wild, and since it is between husband and wife, why would it choose to be carried out in the wild? However, the next argument is even more untenable.
The third theory is related to the local reproductive customs in Tibet, where the two are hugged and married, the person watching is a shaman, and the action of touching the lower body with the hand is actually a practice, and even the words are chanted in the mouth, when a certain result is achieved in order to summon witchcraft. There may be some relationship with the birth of the husband and wife, and it may be praying for the early birth of a noble son.
The last theory is more reliable, they think that these three are Tubo caravan members, may be the desire for men and women after drinking, so they found a woman similar to the Qinglou woman, in order not to be discovered by others, so the location was chosen in the wild.
At this time, another caravan member passed by and found him, so the two of them reached an agreement between you and me, and the man sitting on his knees on the ground should be waiting.
summary
From the above point of view, the expert's brain hole is really quite large, although the conclusions reached are different, but they all have their own reasons, for this ambiguous thing in ancient times, it has always been a benevolent person, the wise man has seen the wisdom, mainly to express his own unique views, the so-called existence is reasonable, as long as he constantly guesses, he is always moving closer to the truth.
